The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) is pleased to issue a call for public comment about its proposal for a menu of new criteria for Accreditation with Commendation, in accordance with its Rule-Making Policy. Comments will be accepted through February 16, 2016, at 5:00 pm Central.

The goal of the proposed new criteria is to encourage and reward accredited continuing medical education (CME) providers for implementing best practices in pedagogy, engagement, evaluation, and change management, and to focus on generating meaningful outcomes. The proposal reflects the recommendations the ACCME has gathered from a diverse range of stakeholders about how to advance CME’s role in the changing health environment and leverage the power of education to improve healthcare.
